Inhaled Bongos

This is my first effort with real bongos. I’ve been so inspired by Norm’s talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands on them. Just the idea of them being in his car cost me 7 strokes. :) I really could not wait to get home and mic them up.
There’s 3 tracks of bongos here. 1 washboard which I scratch with a pick, a hardcore plastic tamborine track, 1 cowbell, 1 computer closet, which I hit with my kick drum mallot. Then after mixing it up as percussion, I heard some guitar and bass.
So I added it. :)
I made the click track 3 minutes long, but honestly, My arms were rubber noodles by 2 minutes.

While researching bongos and congos I stumbled on the CajÃ³n. Real cool instrument. I intend to build one with left over lumber I have lying around. More on that when it happens.

MORE BONGOS!!!

I love the superspy guitar riff in this and the rhythm is so damn cool! Great work! *Dancing*

Nice work! And way to go on the computer closet... basically a cajon. I use cajon quite a bit: the key to building one is to make the striking face out of very thin ("aviation grade") plywood, if you can get your hands on some. Well done!
